Plantar wart WILL NOT GO AWAY

[slang23]

Ok I have had this wart on the ball on my foot for years.  There are a few and now they are large and thick.  It must have roots an inch deep at this point.  I should have just let it be but I have seen about 10 doctors for it (derms and dpms).

I have tried
-Doctor applied acids
-Dozens of doctor freezings
-many self freezings
-Candida antigen injections
-Duct tape for months
-Aldara
-50% salicyclic acid (self applied)


The only thing that seems to be left is bleomycin which my doctor is unwilling to do.  She said I could be left with a hole in my foot.  She says the only thing she can think of is trying many candida shots (we only did 1 injection a week for 5 weeks - the standard) or do a combination of salicyclic acid (to thin the skin) and aldara (which may have had problems with absorption before).  

Does ANYONE have an idea?  has anyone tried bleomycin>  I would like to avoid simple/homeopathic stuff --- I think this is WAY beyond that

I thought they were callouses for 20 years. My dermatologists pointed them. Lately I exposed them and now I can
See them. They are time consuming. I have clusters & I guess it amounts to at least 50 or so. I'm basically doomed. I recently purchased the tape dots w/ 40 % salicylic acid & thAt's when they became more visible. They are shrinking. But it requires persistence. I had 1 on my finger that came off easily with 2 freezing sessions. The dermatologist wasted much of my time on the warts on my feet.

Keep your foot completely dry at all times, tie a plastic grocery bag around your foot when you take a shower, never get it wet til the warts are gone.

  also, put fingernail polish on them, this will suffocate the cells, coat and seal them, also wrap them in bandage tape, and duct tape.  Warts occur on your skin because they need air.

I had warts on my fingers, and toe and one appeared on my mouth, it was making me v. distressed and i also tried everything. Finally found Apple cider vinegar and tried that, IT WAS AMAZING! i also ate more white fish. within a few weeks they had all gone, it was incredible. I am writing this because I know how you feel. Try these things!

i just cut the top of one wart off and burned the root with a hot nail. did that to a wart on my hand and it worked. i'm also trying compound w on some of them. i riped a small one out with plires and must have got the root because it didn't come back. trying all kinds of stuff. i'll let u all know what works the best in the end. i also heard that drs have an antibiotic for them now too along with freezing.

I've suffered from warts on both my feet and hands for many years now. I have several plantars on one of my big toes which have been driving me nuts.

I've been using Aldara every week for about 2 months now, as prescribed by my dermatologist and it's the first thing that's really worked. He recommended using Aldara and the duct tape technique but so far it has eradicated all the warts on my hands... it's incredible. As for the plantar warts, there was a large red one on the bottom of one of my feet and that went away with the Aldara.

The others are talking longer but as a previous poster pointed out, it may be a problem of absorption so I'm now trying to get as much callous and dead skin off as possible before applying.
